What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
unlabelledHeight loss and vertebral deformity had independent effects on health-related quality of life evaluated by the European quality-of-life five-domain questionnaire (EQ-5D) in a cohort of 2,021 elderly Japanese men and women. Height loss aggravated EQ-5D more strongly than vertebral deformity in all domains, with different patterns.
introductionVertebral deformity reduces the activities of daily living and quality of life, and elevates mortality. Height loss is taken to be a sign of vertebral deformity, although other factors could also cause height loss. In this study, we examined the difference in EQ-5D between elderly with height loss and with vertebral deformity.
methodsThe subjects were 2,021 men and women aged 57-101 years from the Hiroshima Cohort who underwent health examinations in 2002-03 and responded to the EQ-5D. Vertebral deformity was assessed semi-quantitative methods using lateral chest and spine radiographs. Height was measured during the routine biennial examinations, which have been conducted since 1958. We used linear regression analyses, ordered polytomous logistic regression analyses, and Bonferroni tests.
resultsEighty three men and 314 women had prevalent vertebral deformity. The mean height loss was 2.2 cm for men and 3.9 cm for women. Height loss > or =4 cm (P < 0.01) and vertebral deformity (P = 0.04) were independent risk factors for low EQ-5D scores, after adjustment for sex and age.
conclusionsThe present study showed that height loss and vertebral deformity affected EQ-5D significantly and independently in the elderly.
